Don't feel that CM is uploaded. Two from four if Jacko's plays wide left isn't a big problem. Always going o be one injured, suspended, out of form etc. Need competition for places too. Looking good IMO.
BTW, hello there Mr/Mrs Oldham fan. Been to your ground a couple of times and always ended up chatting to some of your lot in that pub near the ground - a good set of fans. I hope the new ground thing is working out for you btw, your fans didn't seem too happy about it last time as it sounded like it was miles away.

Agree, really need four senior CMs as a minimum, and I'd say 5 if you play a 3 man central midfield (or one regularly plays out wide which Jackson might).
Going to be interesting to see who starts v Bournemouth if they're all fit.
If we're getting all these new players and spending the cash, it's gonna be interesting to see who Rochdale spend their (equivelent amount of) cash on..............
Maybe thats why we're buying up early, so we don't get into bidding wars with them. ;-)
Good Signing. We didn't get that midfield balance right at all last season. One thing for certain the strength in depth this season we won't need to loan in anybody.
We might go for a more attacking formation this season 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3, but How I see it.
MR - 1. Green 2. Wagstaff 3. Pritchard
ML - 1. Jackson 2. Evina 3. Harriott
MC (Box 2 Box/Ball Winner) - 1. Alonso 2. Jackson 3. McCormack
MC (Playmaker/Attacking Mid) - 1. Hollands 2. Stephens 3. Pritchard
Still Semedo could sign, so where would he fit in? Personally I think McCormack will depart.

Strength in depth, people....

Good luck next season (usual caveats apply)....
